Abstract: The tunnel excavation device includes a front body section and a rear body section. The front body section includes a cutter head, a cutter head support, and a vertical shoe. The rear body section is disposed to a rear of the front body section and includes a gripper section for obtaining a reaction force when excavating. The cutter head includes a plurality of roller cutters. The cutter head support supports the cutter head. The vertical shoe is disposed below the cutter head support and is provided in a turnable manner to the cutter head support.

Abstract: A tunnel excavation device includes a front body portion configured to support a cutter head and a rear body portion. The rear body portion includes a gripper carrier and a gripper portion. The gripper carrier is disposed in a rear of the front body portion. The gripper portion is provided on the gripper carrier. The gripper portion includes a groove portion and a wheel portion. The groove portion is formed in a recess shape toward the rear main body. The wheel portion is disposed in the groove portion.

Abstract: A tunnel excavation device includes a front body section and a rear body section. The front body section includes a cutter head, a cutter head support, peripheral plates, a roof shoe, and side shoes. The cutter head includes a plurality of roller cutters. The cutter head support supports the cutter head. The peripheral plates, the roof shoe, and the side shoes are provided to the outer circumference and can be collapsed inward. The rear body section is disposed to the rear of the front body section. The rear body section includes a gripper section. The gripper section obtains a reaction force for performing excavation.

Abstract: A tunnel excavation device includes a main body a frame and a workbench. The main body includes a front body section and a rear body section. The front body section includes a cutter head provided with a plurality of disk cutters. The rear body section is disposed behind the front body section and includes a gripper section for obtaining a reaction force when excavating. The frame is disposed continuously behind the main body. The workbench is disposed above the frame so as to be rotatable with respect to the frame.

Abstract: With a temporary operating unit being operating, a user provides a boot timing using a boot timing instructing unit. This causes a CPU to compute a boot preparation timing based on the boot timing, and store the boot timing and boot preparation timing to a boot timing memory. At this time, a timer begins a time-keeping operation. After that, the user turns off the power to the temporary operating unit. A boot preparation instructing unit determines whether or not the time being measured by the timer coincides with the boot preparation timing stored in the boot timing memory. When the time measured by the timer coincides with the boot preparation timing stored in the boot timing memory, the boot preparation instructing unit provides the CPU with a boot preparation instruction. This turns on the power to the temporary operating unit, and the CPU performs a boot preparation.
